Habib Ahmad Mashur al-Haddad would not enter Madinah unless he saw the Prophet ﷺ in a dream giving him permission to enter the city and he would not exit Madinah unless he was given permission to exit until one year he saw the Prophet ﷺ in a dream who said, "My dear child, we give you permission to enter and exit Madinah whenever you wish!"
This man is one of my greatest role models. Over 300,000 people accepted Islam with Habib Ahmad Mashur al-Haddad through his character, piety, and gatherings Habib spread Islam in some of the remotest parts of the world. He learnt to speak fluent Swahili to spread Da'wah. Habib Ahmad would sit outside of his house and whenever a non Muslim would walk by, he would lovingly Invite them inside for tea and speak to them with love and compassion. They wouldn't complete the cup except they said, "La ilaha ila Allah Muhammad Rasulallah ﷺ!" He never missed Tahajjud. Even when he got ill, he did not close the door on anyone. His home was open 7 days a week for all people. His life is the perfect embodiment of the one ﷺ who was born in Rabi'. May Allah grant him the highest abodes of Jannah.
